“I heard everything. My grandmother is pitiful. She’s such a good person. She’s not someone bad people should curse at! Don’t call my grandmother a wicked woman! Don’t call me the bloodline of a wicked woman! You idiots!”
If there were adults around these children to catch them, they would have pointed out the error in my words.
However, since I had already mentioned the ‘Duchess’, none of the adults present could intervene in this conversation.
I decided to set the final nail in the coffin.
“Big sister, didn’t grandmother say she oversees my schedule when I’m getting my education?”
I widened my eyes and looked at the maid next to me.
“Huh?”
“Hmm?”
“Oh, yes.”
The maid, unable to understand the meaning of my words, tilted her head.
“So, she has to be informed about this, right?”
“Oh! Yes, of course.”
“No, don’t say it.”
I deliberately shouted loudly.
So that all the people in the garden could hear.
“Huh? Why?”
“I’m worried that it might hurt my grandmother.”
The maids looked at each other with significant glances.
I brought my index finger to my lips and made a ‘shush’ sound.
“It’s our secret, okay?”
“Yes, of course.”
Whether the northern tower maids would report to the Duchess or not, I wasn’t sure. They were already enslaved by the palm fruit I had given them.
However, the maids scattered in the garden were different.
Those who became the eyes and ears of the Duchess will undoubtedly report this incident indepth.
Whether they believed me or not when I said it, the children shouted defiantly with their chins up.
“Hmph! Seems like you know to be scared? Slave of the tower!”
“Huh, if I’m a slave of the tower, then you’re a fool who can’t see an inch ahead!”
I smiled brightly at the little child and poked the maid next to me again.
The startled maid cautiously looked down at the top of my head.
“I wonder why they would say that?”
“Huh?”
I smiled brightly and made a joke.
“It’s all because their parents taught them wrong.”
But it’s true, they were the ones who started it!
‘For playing with your mouths incorrectly, get dragged to the Duchess!’
Those children will be safe. It’s their parents who will bear the wrath of Duchess Lucela. Since the die is already cast, I decided to sit back and enjoy the show.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing how they grow up. Naughty brats. But all of this is a secret, okay?”
I sneaked a glance at the surrounding maids and attendants.
If there’s one way to spread news far and wide, it’s to declare it as ‘a secret’.
The moment it becomes a secret, the news takes wing and flies away.
I was sure.
All of this would be reported to the Duchess within five minutes.
Already a conspicuous bluehaired attendant hurriedly left towards the west of the garden.
I laughed to myself as I entered the mansion.
People who say bad things should get punished accordingly.
I never hold back.
You know the old saying? If a patient person endures three times, they become a fool!
‘But, what does it really mean to be a villainess’s bloodline?’
I felt the need to properly understand this matter.
[This is a time separator.]There was a gaze from afar, observing SiEun.
That gaze quietly disappeared in another direction after watching her receding steps.
The profound gaze was gone, but the person remained.
The owner of that mysterious gaze was none other than Leonhardt Mirmod, the boy who would be attending the succession class with SiEun in a few minutes.
About an hour had passed since he saw SiEun in the garden.
The masked boy, Leonhardt, finally entered the succession training hall.
His sight was filled with a large room, two desks starkly positioned in the center, and a tiny child, no taller than a nightstand.
The notion of taking classes alone with such a tiny child.
Some might consider it an insult to their pride.
Especially as he had already received some recognition for his genius abilities, it was a situation where he could throw a tantrum, accusing them of belittling him because he was a child.
But Leonhardt was different. The boy was not bothered by differences in age, and thanks to his earlier observation of SiEun’s performance, he was even somewhat excited.
Even though to others, he might seem blunt and expressionless.
‘I thought it would be boring, but it might be better than expected.’
He held an appreciation of that level.
Leonhardt was naturally taciturn.
In reality, it would be more accurate to say that he had no desire to interact in a conversation with someone.
After all, nobody showed much interest in him, and thanks to his lack of interest in others.
But SiEun was different.
Even Leonhardt, who wasn’t fond of gossip, knew the stories about SiEun and her father, Duke Matthias.
‘So that nightstandsized kid is that famous…’
As he approached the desk, he closely observed the child’s wheatfieldlike hair and chubby cheeks, evident even from the back.
‘… the one Duke Matthias would kill?’
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
